Corny


Who knew you could spin corn? I bought the Ingeo fleece at the Fibre Fair, but took awhile to spin it as it scared me. I am new at the spinning thing and had only spun wool. When I finally did it I was surprised how easy it was to spin. I am sad that it can't be dyed. It is VERY white. Almost too white and shiny to go with anything. I ended up plying it with a merino/silk blend that was mostly white with a bit of blue, green and pink. I forgot to take photos of the final product, but I knit it into a hat for myself for this winter. I'll have to photogrpah the hat soon.
